ROYALSQueen Elizabeth Would Have Never Called Donald Trump 'Very Rude,' Ex-Staffer Fumes: 'Disrespects Her Memory'
A new book claimed Queen Elizabeth called Donald Trump 'rude.'
A new book claimed Queen Elizabeth wasn't fond of Donald Trump during their 2018 meeting, but a former royal staffer is shutting down the claims.
Queen Elizabeth welcomed Donald Trump and Melania Trump to England in 2018 during his presidency.
"I think that this completely does, [disrespect her memory.] There doesn't seem any points or reasons for this to have come about," former royal gardener Jack Stooks told GB News.
“To suddenly start claiming that about somebody who has passed without allowing them to defend themselves and say, ‘well, actually, hang on a minute, that wasn't quite what was said...'" he continued.
Donald Trump often defends Queen Elizabeth in interviews.
As OK! previously reported, author Craig Brown discussed Trump and Her Majesty's time together in A Voyage Around The Queen.
"A few weeks after President Trump's visit, for instance, she confided in one lunch guest that she found him 'very rude': she particularly disliked the way he couldn't stop looking over her shoulder, as though in search of others more interesting," Brown told an outlet while promoting his book.
"She also believed President Trump 'must have some sort of arrangement' with his wife Melania, or else why would she have remained married to him?" he said of what the matriarch thought of the couple.
Historically, Queen Elizabeth is supposed to be an apolitical figure.
Elizabeth was expected to be an apolitical figure, meaning Brown's accusations aren't aligned with the royal's legacy.
“We know what the Queen was like as a person. We know that in her reign, she never put a foot wrong," Stooks noted. "So why would she suddenly get to a point in her life where she suddenly goes, ‘oh, let's put my foot wrong?’"
“It's not something she would do. It's just ridiculous," the former staffer added.

Meghan Markle previously called Donald Trump 'divisive.'
In the past, the former president gushed over his time with Elizabeth shortly after his trip to Buckingham Palace.
"There are those that say they have never seen the Queen have a better time, a more animated time," Trump told Fox News.
Over the years, Trump has been vocal about his love for Elizabeth and disapproval of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's decision to leave the royal fold.
"I would say — although she wouldn't show it because she's strong and smart — but I would imagine that broke [Queen Elizabeth's] heart," the former reality star told GB News' Nigel Farage.
"The things they were saying were so bad and so horrible," he continued, referring to the public rift between Harry and the royal family. "She was in her 90s and hearing this stuff. I think they broke her heart. I think they really hurt her."

Eric Trump also recently complained about the Sussexes' antics while discussing his dad's ties to the royal family.
“What I can tell you is, my father had so much respect for the Queen, as did I," Eric told GB News. “My mom knew so many of them for years and had a great relationship with Diana."
“It’s a sacred institution. You can happily have those two [Meghan and Harry], we might not want them anymore, it feels like they’re on an island of their own," he continued. “You can always have bad actors in everything. You can have spoiled apples in every orchard."
